Blue inhaler in red case, lost near library

Hey, I lost my inhaler today. It's a blue and white inhaler in a bright red silicone protective case that has a small white sticker with 'MediCare' scratched on the back and a tiny dent on the corner from a drop last week. I last had it yesterday around 4pm near the Santa Barbara Public Library on East Anapamu Street, by the benches outside the main entrance. It's essential for my asthma, and I really need it back today—without it I could have trouble breathing. If you find it, please text me anytime; I can pick it up where it's convenient.

Gold-tone Alex and Ani bracelet with star charm

I lost my gold-tone Alex and Ani bracelet yesterday around 3pm outside The French Press on State Street, just past Paseo Nuevo in Santa Barbara. It's a slim beaded bracelet with a tiny star charm and a single teal bead near the clasp; the metal looks a bit worn from daily wear. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it carries a lot of sentimental value, and I’m really hoping it turns up. If you found it, please drop me a message here—I’d be grateful to arrange a safe meetup to get it back.

Navy Herschel Little America backpack with panda keychain

I was walking back from the Santa Barbara Mission toward State Street yesterday around 3pm when I realized my navy blue Herschel Little America backpack wasn’t on my shoulder. It’s in good condition but has a few travel stains and a faded red panda keychain on the zipper. There’s also a small yellow smiley sticker on the front pocket. Inside I keep a sketchbook and a portable charger; those items are sentimental because I use them on nearly every trip. If you found it near Stearns Wharf or the Santa Barbara Public Market, I’d be beyond grateful to get it back.

Black matte Warby Parker glasses with blue temple tips

I lost my black matte Warby Parker glasses yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on State Street, Santa Barbara. They’re rectangular, medium width, with blue temple tips and a tiny scratch on the left lens. The inside of the right temple is engraved with my initials 'PP.' They were a gift from my sister and my prescription is important for my job, so this is really stressful. If anyone found them, I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back. Please reach out if you’ve seen a pair matching these details anywhere near State Street between Canon Perdido and Ortega.

Nintendo Switch OLED with neon controllers found downtown

I found a Nintendo Switch OLED model with neon red/blue controllers this afternoon around 2:30pm, sitting on a bench outside the Santa Barbara Central Library on East Anapamu Street. It’s in decent shape, the screen looks clean with a protective film intact, and the neon Joy-Cons still click nicely. It’s tucked in a blue silicone case and has a small pink heart sticker on the back, which makes it pretty easy to spot. There’s a faint scratch on the screen protector when the light hits just right. I’m posting this here to help the owner get it back; if you recognize these details, I’ll hand it over to you as soon as we can verify ownership.

Navy hoodie with red logo found near Stearns Wharf

I found a navy North Face hoodie this afternoon around 2:15 pm outside the Stearns Wharf entrance by the Santa Barbara harbor. It's a men's size M, in decent used condition with a small coffee stain on the cuff and a bright orange interior lining. The red drawstrings and a tiny surfer pin on the zipper pull are unique identifying touches. This casual-wear piece has clearly been through a few beach days, and I know it could mean a lot to someone who lost it. If these details sound like yours, send me a message and we’ll figure out next steps.

Black-and-white dog with red bandana found near Stearns Wharf

I found a black-and-white dog this afternoon around 2:15pm wandering along the Stearns Wharf boardwalk by the Santa Barbara Harbor. It's a medium-sized mix, about 40 pounds, with a bright red bandana and a blue collar, and a small white heart-shaped patch on its chest. One ear tilts a bit when it listens, and the pup seemed friendly but a little anxious, so I stuck with it, offered water, and kept an eye out for a tag, but nothing readable showed up. I’d love to help reunite them with their family—the dog looked like they’re missing someone and I could tell it mattered. If this sounds like your dog, drop a message here and we can figure out the next steps.

College ID card with blue lanyard

I found a college ID card this afternoon around 2:45pm near the Santa Barbara Public Market on Victoria Street. It’s attached to a blue lanyard that’s a bit frayed at the ends. The front shows a photo of a young person and the name 'Ari Patel' printed below, along with a student ID number ending in 4582. There’s a small wave sticker in the corner of the photo, a little detail that made it easy to spot. The card is in decent condition, with some light scratches but all the text is legible. If you recognize this card, please reach out—I’d really like to help reunite it with its owner and get it back to them in downtown Santa Barbara.
